I came across this page while searching for potential poisons (i cant open it at home though)http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=MImg&_imagekey=B6TFK-445B4R7-HF-1&_cdi=5229&_user=186797&_pii=0009250990801628&_origin=search&_coverDate=12/31/1990&_sk=999549991&view=c&wchp=dGLbVtz-zSkWb&md5=6b4a4f3af0f1e1049ed7fc83ad0030ba&ie=/sdarticle.pdf' It carries out a process somewhat similar to ours. What I find useful is that they state sizes for the reactors and the autoclaves they used, so it gives us somewhat of an idea of how big our equipment should be. Their process runs about 10 tonnes/day.Our equipment will be producing about 82 tonne/day (30000 tonne/year). Summary of equipment we will need (and costs):
